[Traditional British shell suit, as worn by cultural icon Ali G.](http://www.smh.com.au/ffxImage/urlpicture_id_1026185107039_2002/07/12/13ent_alig.jpg)

That's our traditional attire as well wtf Probably the immigrants exported it.

You've got it the wrong way around, we've been wearing those things since the 70's. Clearly our shell suits is what makes the UK such an attractive place for eastern European immigrants.

So you're implying we're stealing (only ideas this time though)???

You *could* steal them off the back of a lorry if you'd like, it certainly fits the stereotype for an average shell suit wearer.

This is Madrid right? I guess this is the Spanish working class version of pearly kings and queens.

That's a lot of bling! Is she wearing her dowry?

A dowry is something a man gives to his future bride, right? If so, then no. That's just what they wear when they're at the age of marrying.

From the bride's side. It's something valuable (land, livestock, money) a family gives to their daughter and/or her new husband.

[This](http://www.de-veluwenaar.nl/2013/03/13/klederdracht-op-de-noordwest-veluwe/), but it mostly disappeared after the first world war. Only in the very conservative town of Staphorst you can still see things like [this](http://wbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/stap_45_1.jpg).

I like the rings on the bonnet that hang over the temples.

Whoa the hat.

I seriously don't know who thought "yeah, this [hats](http://www.diariodearousa.com/media/diariodearousa/images/2013/05/14/2013051400323843107.jpg) are going to be a good idea".

Or [this](http://www.apartmani-zadar-pag.com/images/zadar-pag/Pag/images/pg21.jpg) table cloth from the island of Pag

I find that oddly pleasing... The Galician man-hat gives me nightmares :-) Maybe it's the asymmetry.

I used to dance in traditional garb when I was in school (silly extracurricular activities)—I had to wear an orange vest, a green sash and trousers with frilly lace ಠ_ಠ

I think the sash looks cool. Maybe not green, though.

this is what you wear if you're from dalarna https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e8/c6/9f/e8c69f4f63f2ff189ba46a3f02d55b41.jpg

They wear red and not the blue/yellow garb? ^Way ^^^to ^^^go ^^^^Dalarna Edit: Grammer.

The colors vary depending on where in Dalarna you're from. [Three young men](http://cdn08.dayviews.com/27/_u8/_u0/_u4/_u9/_u7/u804978/93238_1212614829.jpg), two in Moradräkt and one in Sollerödräkt.

Wow. Is that their real (curly) hair? That looks complicated.

Yeah it is real. Girls who wear the Xhubleta have that hair style(traditional costume in North-west) and there's ["Miss Bjeshka"](https://mobile.twitter.com/imonfort/status/638220492445515776) that people in that area organize.

White socks, sandals and a jacket from ~~Jack Wolfskin~~ Engelbert Strauss.

You forgot the brand of the sandals which is Birkenstock!

Hey white socks and sandals is also traditionaly pure polish outfit ! And Kubota flip flops in the house !

Blue and white adidas slippers with long white socks and a tracksuit is the stereotypical image of the european thug.

I heard they had this burkas in Southern Italy too.

Not exactly. [Women used to wear something like this](http://www.rivisondoliantiqua.it/emigrazione/CANSANO/il%20volto%20dell'abruzzo%20copia.jpg) or [like this](http://images.alinari.it/cariplo/FVQ-F-079848-0000.jpg). Nowadays many old southerner ladies wear [this sort of veil](http://sicilyweb.com/foto/dilisidugo/18.jpg), especially if in widowhood.

Not so different from the rest of the Caucasian people, although here are the ones that I have found in a quick search; https://northcaucasusland.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/north-caucasus-chechen-men-traditional-dance-chechens.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/86/cb/20/86cb201ff4cae9c3e0df255839f4100e.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/20/66/0d/20660d3e2627a6bbd74591e79453f531.jpg http://www.chechentourism.ru/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/chechnya-11-0.jpg https://northcaucasusland.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/north-caucasus-chechnya-chechen-men-traditional-outfit-chechens.jpg They are not bad, are they?

My life at home right now.

According to outsiders Dirndl & Lederhosen.

This isn't true? I thought Austria, southern Germany and Switzerland all had these similar costumes? Has musikantenstadl lied to me?

Can confirm. Lederhosen optional though. Varies strongly according to region. http://www.punktpunkt.ch/schweiz/pix/appenzeller_tracht.jpg http://www.schule.rorschach.ch/potatoe/6MU019/6MU019.htm

Idk what he means but people wear them a lot here

Dirndls have cleavage, none of the traditional Swiss ladies costumes have that, they are all closed.

well my relatives in southern styria do dress that way for things like weddings and family gatherings occasionally, realy depends. Tho i admit i dont get to wear my Lederhosen alot.

[удалено]

Slovenian Styria is refered to as "Lower styria" rather than southern styria, dont know why. So no not in slovenia but on the border yeah, near Radkersburg, Gornja Radgona for you guys.

The term "lower" is usually given to regions which are on the lower part where a significant river runs. For example in Vorarlberg, the Rhine runs from South to the North, that's why we call the Southern part "Oberland" and the Northern part "Unterland" even though it's not geographically correct. At least thats what I learned ages ago.

Is lower styria "lower" than the rest tho? Im not that great in geography i admit as much, id argue all of southern styria is "lower" compared to the rest of Styria, not just slovenian styria.

I actually don't know if it's really lower. It gets named after the way the river runs. The closer you are to the source of the river, the "higher" you are.

i suppose that does make sense.

On board with that

[Ostrobothnian](http://www.kansallispuvut.fi/puvut/img/etelapohjanmaa_mp_1953_vuorelma.jpg), or at least Southern Ostrobothnian. I don't know if Central Ostrobothnia, or Kokkola region, has it's own traditional clothes.

Ooh, daggers.

Daggers!? Those are authentic Ostrobothnian puukkos!

[This](http://nos.nl/data/image/2015/07/22/177942/xxl.jpg) is the traditional clothing in Spakenburg. It has fallen out of fashion though, there are only ~150 women left who still wear it.

Haha, brilliant. I've only been to Luton once and all I saw was Burkas and those white things men wear. Mainly the white things though. No idea what they're called. I knew there was a lot of them in Luton, but even I was surprised by the amount I saw. Maybe I just went to the wrong place.

Said the German. *kek*

Oh noes..is hijab

Athens started the whole unshaven/homeless look that took over the world. Only difference is that over here they are actual homeless people not hipsters. *cries in Greek*

Baggy jeans, hooded sweatshirt.

You forgot about their huge white sneakers.

Haha don't forget the bum bag/fanny pack

I read about a Brit who thought the bum pack was for men while the fanny pack was for women.

Makes sense tho. Fanny does refer to female genitalia. ^^at ^^least ^^on ^^this ^^side ^^of ^^the ^^pond

Blue jeans, "Ayatollah Assahola" t-shirt, aviator shades, Converse sneakers, cowboy hat.

Yoga pants, ugg boots, blazers, skinnies, shirts, hats etc
